I have a pivot table with 5 dimensions and, as expression something like this: =SERVER_PIC with Representation = Image and where SERVER_PIC, in my data model, is a link to an image in an external website (with http://www...).

With webview turned off, I can see my beautiful pivot with images in expression.

If I turn on webview, instead of the image I see only the textual link (the value of SERVER_PIC)... and the same on the qvw on Access Point!

The IE plugin is an separate program to IE itself and accesses the images directly. Webview accesses the images using the http protocol, and is subject to different firewall and security rules, as well as different network ports, so I would still go with the firewall/security as the most likely explanation.

Try opening the image directly in IE (by typing/pasting the image URL in the address bar, not using the plugin), using the same account as the web server service. If you can open the image that way, then it may be possible to rule out the firewall/security issues.

We have just upgraded to QV 12.10 SR6 and have the same issue. Changing the following setting in the settings.ini did resolve the issue, but don't really like making changes without good reason as this worked fine in QV11.
